To summarize, and hopefully stop, this thread: You can install Trac on pretty much anything (never tried VMS but all the pre-reqs are there). If there isn't a platform you like for whatever reason, Linux is probably the most widely used and so will be the easiest to find help with. Within that

LOL @ Windows servers :P Depends on wether you just want to run the tracd standalone or through mod_python/etc... I've found it trickier to run under Apache on Leopard than Ubuntu (which was a breeze) but those are my 2 platforms of choice. David Starr Technical Director Trapeze Animation
